I spent a lot of time recently figuring out how to upload a beta version of the application for both Mac and Windows, as well as make it intuitive to download (after all, I want people with all levels of experience with computers to be able to access it). After a lot of trial and error, I was finally able to export the application for both Mac and Windows (with Java embedded in each version so no need to separately install Java), create a shareable folder via OneDrive, and write directions for each version on how to use and operate it. I also spent a long time modifying my code to make the application work on virtually any screen resolution (by scaling hard-coded numbers based on width and height of the user's screen). I also tested it on a bunch of different computers including Mac and Windows and different screen resolutions. Posting the beta version wasn't the most important reason for going through all of this, but more for creating the system for the user to download the final version once it is finished. Should anybody have any concerns about downloading the beta version or using it, feel free to contact me!

After finishing my game descriptions and starting to code, I really got more into my element. I love coding and this was honestly no different. It definitely does not feel like a chore at all but is quite fun. As a result of this, I am ahead of schedule with my goals and have pretty much finished my July goal at this point. After adding some of the finishing touches on the menu system which was my goal this month, I will most likely start coding the games earlier than expected. Hopefully, this will allow me some more time to add more features to the application than what I had originally, perhaps adding on a spelling mode or more games. I am absolutely enjoying this project thus far and am so happy I applied for it! When I am finished with the menu system, I will update the download buttons on the home page of this website so users can test it out. If there are any bugs or suggestions, I will be happy to look at them to improve the application!
In addition, I have changed the name of the project. It might continue to change in time based on what features I add to the application. |
